Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has approved the appointment of 11 chief executive officers (CEOs) to oversee the city's Level 4 hospitals.
During a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Sakaja emphasized that this decision aims to enhance service delivery in these vital healthcare facilities.
“This new administrative model, where CEOs lead our hospitals, has already proven effective in our Level 5 hospitals. Having observed its positive impact, we are now extending this approach to our Level 4 hospitals in Nairobi,” Sakaja confirmed during the session.
The decision seeks to strengthen governance, operational efficiency, and service provision in Nairobi’s healthcare system. The cabinet resolved to prioritize the hiring of experienced professionals, following earlier discussions on the need for improved leadership under the county’s latest healthcare reform strategies.
“CEOs will be responsible for navigating the complexities of healthcare, ensuring that each facility meets modern healthcare demands,” Sakaja said.
He also highlighted that the decision aligns with the Public Finance Management Act (2012) and the Facilities Improvement Financing Act (2023), which call for greater accountability and enhanced management in public health institutions.
"By appointing CEOs for these hospitals, the county aims to establish robust governance structures that will streamline operations and improve financial oversight," Sakaja reiterated.
These new leaders will also address the specific challenges faced by each hospital, with the ultimate goal of improving public health services for Nairobi’s residents.
